The Big Bug Crew

The Big Bug Crew is a series of sims for children. Its main characters are Manjiri, a girl from the Exodus Fleet, and Alain, who is from Florence. Their primate companion is called Pinch.

Big Bug was the first children's sim to depict Martians and Exodans as friends. According to Pepper, this contributed to a shift in Diaspora politics.

Pepper grew up playing The Big Bug Crew and the Planetary Puzzle, as it was the only episode Owl had in storage. When she arrived in Port Coriol, she learned that the developers had been making Big Bug episodes for 30 standards.
